"Both drama and epic, this remarkable book traces the continually shifting conceptions of rhetoric and power from Homer to Aristotle. This broad sweep is balanced by the clarity and nuance of each chapter, and one sure result is that it will be a superb text for classroom instruction. We still have much to learn from antiquity, and Crick exemplifies how the study of classical rhetoric can be a source of understanding for a tragic world."―Robert Hariman, Northwestern University

"A refulgent performance by a textual conductor in command of a demanding repertoire. Its three movements (necessity-techne, actuality-possibility, tragedy-comedy) will satisfy many an intellectual longing in discriminating readers of all stripes. Hands down, the most important book on rhetoric in the early morning of the twenty-first century."―John Poulakos, University of Pittsburgh
